Wolverhampton: Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha has been handed a two-game ban by the Football Association (FA) after he was charged with ‘misconduct’ for acting in an ‘improper manner’ following their 1-2 defeat against Ipswich Town at the Molineux Stadium on December 14.

The incident occurred after the final whistle when Jack Taylor scored an injury-time winner for the visitors. Cunha elbowed a member of the Ipswich staff before snatching his glasses off his face. The Brazilian forward has also been fined 80,000 Pounds for the incident.

"Matheus Cunha has been suspended for two games and fined £80,000 following the Premier League fixture between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town on Saturday 14 December 2024.

"The forward was charged with misconduct and it was alleged that he acted in an improper manner after the final whistle. He admitted the charge and the sanctions were subsequently imposed by an independent Regulatory Commission. Full written reasons for this case will be published in due course," read the statement by FA. (IANS)
